Seems like someone at Dettol invented a solution to a non-problem. So what if there are germs on your soap dispenser, you only touch it when your hands are dirty anyways. After washing your hands they are clean, no matter how dirty the dispenser was...
so - you touch a handwash pump then wash your hands - isn't that supposed to get rid of the bacteria? Maybe they're trying to say that thier soap doesn't kill the bacteria. I hate this dumb advert
The worst part is that some people are stupid enough and actually buy the handwash system so they dont get any germs on them.... when they are just about to wash thier hands...
what u do first when u want to wash ur hands -open the tap... with dirty hands, leaving loads of germs on its surface! and what u do when u finish washing ur hands? yes u have to close the tap transferring these horrible bacteria back onto ur hands! :)
But honestly there is one thing people forget about germs,living in sterile conditions is not good for u! ur immune system gets "bored" and attacks other stuff -thats y there r so many allergies, plus ur mouth is dirtier that public toilet seat!!!
i think this encourages people to wash their hands more using soap, since its so easy to use. younger kids would use it because it would make washing their hands that little bit exciting....but the tap thing is true plus the refills are pricey
Dear customer, remember to keep the unit sealed in plastic, since it cannot place ITSELF by the sink. Then, remove the plastic immediately, and wash your hands. Remember to wash your hands after washing your hands, since the tap handle harbours germs. Then, after washing your hands after washing your hands, wash your hands, since the drying towel harbours germs. Then, dispose of the unit immediately, because it will now be harbouring germs. Then, die, because your entire body harbours germs.
I suppose the alternative to this angle was "Too lazy to lift a bar of soap/push the top of a soap dispenser" which may have alienated some potential customers.
This item is absolutely POINTLESS!! Firstly, what's the problem with touching the dispenser?? You're going to wash the germs off your hands anyway. Secondly, once you've washed your hand, you then turn on the germ infested tap to wash away the soap, and then you dry them on a germ infested towel. I'm amazed at the idiots that actually buy this crap!!
fucking amazing idea. except of course you fucking wash your hands right after you fucking use the pump. dettol is obviously full of "unique" people. -_-
If 'not touching a soap dispenser BEFORE you wash your hands' would help, you would still spoil your immune system by never exposing yourself to the decieses you could once encounter when you don't have this stupid dispenser.
Just go wonder why in Western society, we have a lot more allergies than in non-western societies.

This falls into the same category as the Snuggie and the Jumpsnap. Who cares if there's germs on your soap pump? Your gonna wash your hands in the next three seconds anyway! Plus you have to keep buying batteries for the damned thing. This is so stupid!
Tell you what, why don't we all just exist in our own artificial micro-climate life support suits and then we can live in isolation (but bacteria free) for all eternity.
@sravankumarb but their soap will kill all the germs u've just picked up anyway. ( i don't tend to touch the dispenser after ive got and used the soap.
So stupid. I know pretty much everyone has come to this conclusion, but it bares saying again. Even if you do touch the soap pump (yes, the one that will kill you in your sleep unless you buy Dettol), you are invariably going to wash your hands anyway and kill said germs. Unless you are in the habit of just walking around the house with a dollop of soap on your palm.
@TCFan25 Because it's one of the adverts that stops me from watching things on Youtube. And so far it's the stupidest one I've encountered. Dettol feeds on fear, and I would imagine, genuinely scares people with phobias into buying their products. I don't like the product, I hate how they sell it, I think it's stupid, and it stops me watching my videos. Why shouldn't I come on here and tell Dettol what's what, they had it coming with this one.
this is retarded and it annoys the hell out of me because the soap goes on your hands after you press the pump and when you turn the tap off the germs get back on your hands so therefore these people are RETARDED
A godsend for little kids that don't/can't use bar soap properly and can't dispense liquid soap from the pumps as they move about and you have to push hard and little kids don't have the strength we do. All they have to do is put their hands under the sensor and it dispenses the soap.

@Mediumlover Never come across a kid who can't use a bar of soap. If they're that dumb they'll probably fuck up using this wasteful, environmentally degrading example of baroque consumerism. Still, never give a sucker an even break.
@gezunder you obviously don't have little kids! Or a child that is Autistic! Kids are not born knowing how to properly wash their hands, nor do they have the physical ability to do it properly at age 2 1/2-3 years. Learning to wash your hands is like learning to use a pencil properly, or learning to tie your shoelaces. It has nothing to do with IQ. Why do you think that kids get sick all the time? 1. Because they don't wash their hands properly/as much as they should My kids LOVE the DNTHWS.
I think that people came onto youtube and searched this video to say that you wash your hands after you touched the soap pump so they could just get thumb up on their comments. Wow like i would giving a thumbs up!
whoever came up with the marketing for this should be FIRED...I mean here's wat I would of done. "Washing hands takes time, be lazy by having the soup come to you". NOT "DID you know your hands get more dirty before you wash em?"
i think they might be on to something though. if they could just go one step further and come up with a no touch pissing system. i can see the ad now. guy walks into a public toilet, unzips, hands in the air, lets one flow, walks out without washing his hands... and the voice over goes... "dettol no touch pisser... never touch a germy johnson again."
Thank the goodness of smart people! I thought i was the only one who thought that this advertisement was a) biggest scam ever and b) makes us look all stupid!
this is the worst idea i've ever heard...what do you do as soon as you press the "germy soap pump" anyway? umm..WASH YOUR HANDS? who would waste their money on this?
Am I missing something here or am I just stupid?? You could just press the old one and soap comes out of it and you wash your hands straight away!!! So CLEAN HANDS!! Pointless!!!
This ad is just insulting consumers' intelligence. If their product does indeed kill 99% of germs, why would anyone need the no-touch dispenser. Is that last 1% vital/critical? If so, their core product is devalued.
i effing hate this ad! there is no point to that soap thing unless you rub you hand all over it after washing your hands, i know i do that with my soap pump =_=
Notice the use of the nuclear family. One boy, one girl, both parents. Makes me sick to my stomach.Its like the ad is saying you can cleanse yourself from secularism, single parent families, social inequality and germs! Shocking.
@TheTeaTycoon Where are you getting these facts!? No hand-wash kills even 99% i'm sorry it's not possible as they accumilate staright after you dry them! This pump is atleast going to kill 0.01% more germs than a pump wash it's facts as you're not touching something with germs on, it's facts! YES IT IS A VERY SLIM PERCENT but If one of my family had a condition where germs would affect them dramatically I would buy this! AND YOU KNOW YOU WOULD TO OUT OF LOVE, look outside your box.
@TheTeaTycoon And no, it wouldn't make it harder for Dettol to kill pump germs, but some, SOME would remain you fucking idiot seriously you don't seem to get it?!?!?
If such a disease existed where you could die from the germs on your hands even after you've washed them, said patient would be dead long before they even hear about this product.
The number of germs picked up from the pump and left unkilled after washing would be nothing compared to the germs that you pick up every second while using your hands elswhere in life. The difference in the number of germs would be so minute, that you'd have to be a massive hypochondriac to buy into this product.
@RustySting OK. Firstly, the "99.9%" quoted by Dettol will be a statistical average derived from experimental trials, which must have some basis in fact otherwise they would not be allowed to plaster it all over their advertising. This is in stark contrast to the figures that you have been presenting that you appear to have been making up as you go along.
@stoopher Sorry sad act I didn't know who to reply to, your choice of words and the fact you WANT an argument over this and love how i didn't reply to you makes me wonder how sad and how much spare time you have you SAD ACT GET A LIFE AND GET LAID YOU LITTLE WANKER.
@RustySting Wow. Good comeback. I think shouting insults at me over the comments of a dettol advert only reflects poorly on you, and demonstrates that you have no argument.
@stoopher Shouting? It's the internet you idiot and I have an argument just have a life so don't have time to read through it and reply. Sad get a life arguing over DETTOL!
@RustySting Simple netiquette, "...typing in all caps or grossly enlarging script for emphasis, which is considered to be the equivalent of shouting or yelling." Again, if you have an argument to make regarding this video, and/or the validity of the product advertised, then make it. Repeatedly calling people names because they disagree with you only makes you look stupid.
@RustySting Secondly, bacteria grow exponentially. So, assuming that the bacterial population on your hands doubles every hour (this depends on a number of factors and is probably quite a conservative estimate), the extra 0.01% of germs that you seem to think this system will kill will take approximately 500 milliseconds to recover. I don't know about you, but I think I'm willing to wash my hands half a second sooner rather than buy this product.
@RustySting So in closing. Maybe you should do some research before making comments on a subject that you clearly have a very poor understanding of, and refrain from calling someone a, "fucking idiot" when it is in fact you that is going to end up looking like a moron.
@RustySting Again, you seem to have qualified your statements with a number you've pulled out of thin air. How exactly are your points, "100 percent more valid"? Either your points are valid or they're not. And, in the absence of a valid argument, you seem to have resorted to calling me a moron.
@RustySting Oh yeah, I forgot to say that if someone does have a condition, which has resulted in them being immunodeficient to the point where they cannot withstand the bacteria on their hands after being disinfected. I would imagine their liquid soap dispenser would be the least of their worries; as they would either be in a clean room at their local intensive car unit, or the morgue.
@RustySting The point I was making is that this would be of no help whatsoever, even if the person in question had little-to-no immune system. Do you have any particular medical condition in mind, or are you just going to keep saying that, "certain medical conditions" could benefit from this product?
@RustySting .....which the disinfectant hand wash is designed to kill. Either you're saying that the, "certain medical condition" is a bacterial infection; in which case it's a bit late to be washing your hands with disinfectant, you should be taken antibiotics. Or you're saying the hand wash wouldn't kill the bacteria, which would be a fault of the soap, not of the soap pump. Either way, the hands-free soap dispenser serves no purpose.
@TheTeaTycoon Haha all your comments have been removed haha what an idiot, I win. I didn't even read what you said because it's pointless, it's obvious that Detoll isn't dumb and this obvious reduces germs by SOME AMOUNT IT'S FACTS. God such an idiot you have written like 5 comments again and again, get a life lol sado, comments removed fag, I win ty.
@RustySting umm.. that's because I removed them.. I triple posted. Now please stop messaging me, I don't care enough to debate with you any more, it's obviously going nowhere.
@TheTeaTycoon Lol at triple posting, and I agree it's going no where, you have your opinions, I have mine, argueing on here is just sad and getting to annoy us both.
This can be very useful for some people in certain situations. If I had a certain medical condition, where bad bacteria and germs could severely harm me I would buy this over a normal pump just to elimate that 0.5% more germs to give me better odds and feel safer. Also If I was a Doctor performing certain procedure I would also have this over a normal pump. Where as if I was an average healthy person It is pointless! Just letting you guys now there are other people out there other than you.
@RustySting 0.5%? I think the people with "a certain medical condition" should be more scared of the germs on that number.. you know.. after you pulled it out of your ass..
Dettol kills 99.9% of bacteria, fact, so unless 'pump germs' are comprised of some strain of MEGA bacteria, i'm pretty sure that your hands will be just as clean after washing, dirty pump or no.
And besides, I'm sure dettol aren't bothered about appealing to the minority in the UK who live in plastic bubbles.
@TheTeaTycoon Tbh 0.1% if you have a medical condition can be very alarming, I know if somebody I loved had a certain condition where we had to be aware i'd take this to eliminate the 0.1% and, and what are you on about? The pump would harbour germs that some would remain on your hands no matter what so I would rather have this, I agree they aren't aiming for that market of people directly just stating the obvious you twat, the product is useless for 90% of the population but not 10%.
@RustySting 10%? where did you get that number? In any case when dettol say 99.9% they don't mean that exactly 0.1% of the bacteria remains after cleaning your hands.
Dettol effectively kills all the bacteria. The only reason they don't say 100% is that it would be legally irresponsible, say if someone tried really hard to find a bacteria and then sued them. I'm sure if it sounded catchy they would put on the bottle "dettol kills 99.9999999% of bacteria."
How does she dry her hands or turn the tap off germs germs everywhere what are we going to do. Maybe dettoll should design some sort of bubble sort so we can leave the house without fear of the dreaded H1 virus.

Just another example of companies trying to screw paranoid people out of money for yet another useless gadget ! Advertising rip off at it's worst !! The only people they will sell these to are people with OCD !!
I totally agree that this product is pointless, but what they mean is that after you wash your hands, it won't kill ALL of the germs, therefore you would have some of other peoples germs remaining on your hand. Pointless product but just pointing out what most have missed.
@MrJoshgater Yes but obviously some germs would remain after you use a normal pump, from the germs on the pump! So this product is just eliminating more germs, only about 0.5%! But I suppose if you had medical problems this may be a better alternative to the normal pump. Again, I agree it is completely pointless but if I had a medical condition and I hate to be wary of Germs and Bad bacteria I would take this over a normal pump. Juts to feel that but safer.
What kind of moron do you have to be to be afraid to touch a soap dispenser immediately before washing your hands? This has to be the most cynical form of marketing there is: (1) Dream up bullshit product; (2) Instill irrational fear; (3) Take the suckers' money. Anyone who buys this marketing crap is a hot tip for a Darwin award!
@libraman67 Maybe someone who suffers from OCD (obsessive compulsive disorder)?! There are people with OCD that are too scared to use a toilet because of the germs! Think before you comment.
OK, your hands are dirty? right, lets go wash them, press turn water on, push down on old "squeezy thingy" and continue to remove said 99.9% of germs, turn water off, HANDS CLEAN!!! why do we need something that now requires batteries? they'll wear out, it costs usually about €15-€25, and the refils just as much, what is wrong with a Sqeezy hand soap? Nothing? are my hands still clean? YES!!! While growing up, I had Imperial Leather, a BAR of soap, i grew up fine!!
When you touched the pump to wash your hands, germs will be left on the pump 'after' you washed your hands. Germs will be left on there for someone else. They will catch your germs, I know the pump is for washing your hands. But I'm not talking about that, I'm about that once you washed your hands, those germs will be left for everyone else. Germs will stay on the pump.
@RunrigFan : And I'm sure they will have a lovely time, but that doesn't really concern those of us that only dispense handwash with the intention of washing our hands.
you know what this product genuinely makes me angry! Watchdog should get them on the programme so they can explain who has the balls to mug people into buying this stuff! I hope it fails miserably!
Stupid pointless product - as others have said - of course you wash your hands as soon as you have touched the old style pump dispenser - playing on peoples "zOMG! Itz Teh Gurms!!" fear.
The only time you touch the pump is immediately before you wash your hands, thus removing the germs you just touched. Thus, no germs remain on your hands.
HELLO, germs will be on the top of the pump. You press the pump, you have germs, wash your hands yes your hands will be clean, but the top of the pump will still have germs.
this has got to be the biggest marketing scam ever. You wash your hands after touching the pump...so you've just washed all those germs away without having to fork out a fortune for some retarded expensive rip off.
besides, if you are paranoid about pump germs just wipe the goddamn pump when you clean the sink.
Ridiculous product. Absolutely appalling marketing. As others have said, you wash your hands straight after using a hand pump - that's its purpose ! So what does it matter if it harbours germs ?
@proteoid germs will form on top of pump. Everyone says to follow gd hygiene, Its a pump, that senses hands, same in the hospitals, why is it such a bad idea?

Unless you are in the habit of just walking around the house with a dollop of soap on your palm.

@TCFan25 Because it's one of the adverts that stops me from watching things on Youtube. And so far it's the stupidest one I've encountered. Dettol feeds on fear, and I would imagine, genuinely scares people with phobias into buying their products. I don't like the product, I hate how they sell it, I think it's stupid, and it stops me watching my videos. Why shouldn't I come on here and tell Dettol what's what, they had it coming with this one.

@gezunder you obviously don't have little kids! Or a child that is Autistic! Kids are not born knowing how to properly wash their hands, nor do they have the physical ability to do it properly at age 2 1/2-3 years. Learning to wash your hands is like learning to use a pencil properly, or learning to tie your shoelaces. It has nothing to do with IQ. Why do you think that kids get sick all the time? 1. Because they don't wash their hands properly/as much as they should My kids LOVE the DNTHWS.

- "the product is useless for 90% of the population but not 10%."
- "this product is just eliminating more germs, only about 0.5%!"
- "No hand-wash kills even 99%" - I'd check the Dettol website if I were you
- "This pump is atleast going to kill 0.01% more germs than a pump wash"

And by the way, what makes you think that dettol can't kill the germs on the pump?
- you touch germs - lots of germs on hands
- you touch pump - still lots of germs on hands
- you wash hands - dettol kills practically all of the germs - very few germs left.
why would there be any germs left over after that? it's not like it's any harder for dettol to kill pump germs.

@TheTeaTycoon Where are you getting these facts!? No hand-wash kills even 99% i'm sorry it's not possible as they accumilate staright after you dry them!

If such a disease existed where you could die from the germs on your hands even after you've washed them, said patient would be dead long before they even hear about this product.
The number of germs picked up from the pump and left unkilled after washing would be nothing compared to the germs that you pick up every second while using your hands elswhere in life. The difference in the number of germs would be so minute, that you'd have to be a massive hypochondriac to buy into this product.
TheTeaTycoon 1 year ago
@RustySting OK. Firstly, the "99.9%" quoted by Dettol will be a statistical average derived from experimental trials, which must have some basis in fact otherwise they would not be allowed to plaster it all over their advertising. This is in stark contrast to the figures that you have been presenting that you appear to have been making up as you go along.

@RustySting Secondly, bacteria grow exponentially. So, assuming that the bacterial population on your hands doubles every hour (this depends on a number of factors and is probably quite a conservative estimate), the extra 0.01% of germs that you seem to think this system will kill will take approximately 500 milliseconds to recover. I don't know about you, but I think I'm willing to wash my hands half a second sooner rather than buy this product.

@RustySting Oh yeah, I forgot to say that if someone does have a condition, which has resulted in them being immunodeficient to the point where they cannot withstand the bacteria on their hands after being disinfected.

@RustySting .....which the disinfectant hand wash is designed to kill. Either you're saying that the, "certain medical condition" is a bacterial infection; in which case it's a bit late to be washing your hands with disinfectant, you should be taken antibiotics. Or you're saying the hand wash wouldn't kill the bacteria, which would be a fault of the soap, not of the soap pump. Either way, the hands-free soap dispenser serves no purpose.

This can be very useful for some people in certain situations. If I had a certain medical condition, where bad bacteria and germs could severely harm me I would buy this over a normal pump just to elimate that 0.5% more germs to give me better odds and feel safer. Also If I was a Doctor performing certain procedure I would also have this over a normal pump. Where as if I was an average healthy person It is pointless! Just letting you guys now there are other people out there other than you.
RustySting 1 year ago
@RustySting 0.5%? I think the people with "a certain medical condition" should be more scared of the germs on that number.. you know.. after you pulled it out of your ass..
Dettol kills 99.9% of bacteria, fact, so unless 'pump germs' are comprised of some strain of MEGA bacteria, i'm pretty sure that your hands will be just as clean after washing, dirty pump or no.
And besides, I'm sure dettol aren't bothered about appealing to the minority in the UK who live in plastic bubbles.
TheTeaTycoon 1 year ago 3
@TheTeaTycoon Tbh 0.1% if you have a medical condition can be very alarming, I know if somebody I loved had a certain condition where we had to be aware i'd take this to eliminate the 0.1% and, and what are you on about? The pump would harbour germs that some would remain on your hands no matter what so I would rather have this, I agree they aren't aiming for that market of people directly just stating the obvious you twat, the product is useless for 90% of the population but not 10%.
RustySting 1 year ago
@RustySting 10%? where did you get that number? In any case when dettol say 99.9% they don't mean that exactly 0.1% of the bacteria remains after cleaning your hands.
Dettol effectively kills all the bacteria. The only reason they don't say 100% is that it would be legally irresponsible, say if someone tried really hard to find a bacteria and then sued them. I'm sure if it sounded catchy they would put on the bottle "dettol kills 99.9999999% of bacteria."
And don't call me a twat please.

When you touched the pump to wash your hands, germs will be left on the pump 'after' you washed your hands. Germs will be left on there for someone else. They will catch your germs, I know the pump is for washing your hands. But I'm not talking about that, I'm about that once you washed your hands, those germs will be left for everyone else. Germs will stay on the pump.
